What's your history?

Do you need a second? Someone to hold your coat?

NomDePlume · 03/01/2009 21:46

I have no idea who she is.

5Live makes me want to hurl myself out of the car whenever DH has it on, it's his station of choice when driving, that or TalkSport - arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Thank god we have 2 cars

she's a twunt now

neenztwinz · 03/01/2009 21:53

I don't like her - she used to present on my local station, GMR, and she was crap, totally brainless. She never knew anything. One thing that sticks in my mind is she didn't know the difference between TJ Hughes and TK Maxx. Not important but just general knowledge that you would expect someone in the media to know. She must have good researchers on FiveLive cos she is miles better but still pretty crap. During the phone-in I am always screaming at the radio... people say such outrageous things and she is too thick to challenge them.

What is your history?

NotanOtter · 03/01/2009 22:04

i was in the same hall as her at university and it was like 'gangs of new york' I just did NOT hit it off with her

She -however- spent her 3 years trying to 'hit it off' with my boyfriend of the time

Well that's no surprise... she did the same with Fi Glover's husband.

WhatSheSaid · 03/01/2009 22:08

Apparently she was at my school, in the year below me, but I have absolutely no memory of her.

NotanOtter · 03/01/2009 22:14

Whatshesaid i think she went to a grammar school was it Bury grammar?

oh i KNEW this would be you, notanotter!

and she's looking very pudgy of face in that photo...

WhatSheSaid · 03/01/2009 22:16

Ooh I couldn't possibly say, would reveal too much about me...

OK then, yes, it was

WhatSheSaid · 03/01/2009 22:17

Though she couldn't have been year below me. According to Wiki she is 3 years older than me.

angelene · 03/01/2009 22:20

NotAnOtter are you Fi Glover? If so can I borrow your voice?

I HATE Victoria Derbyshire, the phone-ins on 5Live ruin all the brilliant work that Mayo etc does. She seems to be permanently stroppy.

Aitch · 03/01/2009 22:21

The BBC said it merely points some struggling contestants in the right direction for their research.

ohdearwhatamess · 04/01/2009 20:59

I went to school with her.

NotanOtter · 04/01/2009 21:04

ooh! Were you buddies?

she had a school friend at University
they were thick as thieves and used to dress like twins!
Her Bury accent has taken a back seat these days i note!

OP posts:
ohdearwhatamess · 04/01/2009 21:06

No not buddies. She wouldn't know me from Adam.

All I remember is that she was vey pretty and had wonderful hair (was very jealous). I wouldn't have recognised her from the photos in this weekend's papers.

NotanOtter · 04/01/2009 21:09

ohdearwhatamess do you know whatshesaid?
